Serial number 53M6616 Thanks, Guy JonC on "Decoding The Serial Number" http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=984#post-3847 Wed, 05 Oct 2011 15:13:07 +0000 JonC 3847@http://moots.com/bbpress/ jasonlee, Sorry for the delay here, computer/network issues. Compact 55cm.....9/27/06...completion date here at Moots.. PX.....8/30/10.....completion date here at Moots.... Are you bringing your cross bike on the trip? At that time of October trails could be really good, but if not the cross routes around the valley are primo. Looking forward to meeting you! Safe travels.

Could you enlighten me on the completion date? Also, the yellow tag on that came with my PsychloX didn't have a Born on Date filled out. Could you tell me this too so I can have this in my records as well? I am going to try and make it by the factory in a few weeks when I'm making a 12 day MTB trip across Northern CA, Sun Valley, Idaho and Crested Butte!

Almost 15 years with Moots and another 6-7 before that in a shop....a great group of people to work with makes a huge difference no matter the job. Estes Park is only a few hours away....make it happen.

Spending all day with Moots products and the boss brings the beer on fridays? Watching your videos, ride reports, and beer offerings has me dreaming of moving to Colorado someday... Maybe a trip to Este Park with a side trip to the factory might console me for a while... @29ner- For those of us who don't have it ready at hand, Fat Tire is welcome treat!!

I'll be riding in the 100 mile Philly Livestrong challenge this Sunday, my first one, should be a blast. D.

Seriously, the prez just stopped by my office and told me he put two nice 6 packs in the cooler for later today.....and it's only 8:37 am MST....this Friday just got a lot better.

I don't know about the rest of you all but after about the third one they all kinda start to taste the same to me, the way I look at it any beer is good beer (as long as it's ice cold). cheers! D. 29ner on "Decoding The Serial Number" http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=984#post-2995 Fri, 19 Aug 2011 12:36:09 +0000 29ner 2995@http://moots.com/bbpress/ I have to take exception to your exception. I can't stand Fat Tire - tastes like oil to me. I'll take PBR anyday....no question. Doc Moots on "Decoding The Serial Number" http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=984#post-2991 Fri, 19 Aug 2011 03:12:30 +0000 Doc Moots 2991@http://moots.com/bbpress/ Okay gang, I have to take exception with the PBR suggestion. Come on, we're talking about a MOOTS here not some molded piece of plastic that will brake the first time you crank to many watts into it. And though the six pack of beer suggestion show great respect and gratitude for all the outstanding artists at Moots, (to call them workers or welders or finishers or ... is an insult to their true talent) I better beer than PBR is needed. Because MOOTS started with Fat Tire bikes, so Kent could get around, I suggest a six pack of another Colorado product. Fat Tire Beer. Ride often, & stay muddy. Cheers!

I took a look underneath my PX and it also has a letter 'O'. wonder what Moots will do after they finish working their way thru the letter 'S'. JonC on "Decoding The Serial Number" http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=984#post-2986 Thu, 18 Aug 2011 15:57:07 +0000 JonC 2986@http://moots.com/bbpress/ That's right...M O O T S....we are onto the first "O"....are the letters needed? Not really but you would be amzed at some of the stuff on ebay claiming to be a Moots.....or maybe that won't suprise you. davidb---55M 6572 was finished on 4/13/2006.....18M4734 was 12/30/2003.... Thanks, Jon@Moots Satellite on "Decoding The Serial Number" http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=984#post-2984 Thu, 18 Aug 2011 13:35:32 +0000 Satellite 2984@http://moots.com/bbpress/ Dom, Moots doesn't even use the "M" anymore. They have moved on to an "O". They will end up spelling out "MOOTS" or at least "MOTS" after 9,999X3+1 frames they build or 29,998. I think its pretty cool, I have a lot of "M" frames I guess I need to get an "O" frame now. Mooto-X or RSL tough decisions eny meany miny moe.

Aren't we all supposed to send a good six-pack on the welders birthday, or at least a nice card? 55M6572 13M4734 Domestique on "Decoding The Serial Number" http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=984#post-2974 Wed, 17 Aug 2011 18:01:35 +0000 Domestique 2974@http://moots.com/bbpress/ Christ... wasn't that the year George 'W' Bush (no. 43) was elected President? My brother will get a kick outta that, he's a staunch democrat. Thanks for the info Jon. JonC on "Decoding The Serial Number" http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=984#post-2972 Wed, 17 Aug 2011 17:31:20 +0000 JonC 2972@http://moots.com/bbpress/ Domestique, The serial number does not contain a year the frame was made. Only by calling the number in can we determine when it was made. The first number tells what size the frame is....in your case it's a 55cm..."M" stands for Moots...5348 is the number we use to track it. In your case the frame was finished on November 2, 2004.....that was a Tuesday, election day of that year. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks, Jon@Moots Domestique on "Decoding The Serial Number" http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=984#post-2967 Wed, 17 Aug 2011 13:03:22 +0000 Domestique 2967@http://moots.com/bbpress/ My brother asked me what year his Compact was built and I couldn't give an accurate answer, I think it was 2005 but I'm not sure. Is there a way to determine this by the serial number stamped on the underside of the BB shell? It's: 55M5348 Thx, D.
